Forum rules
This section of the forum is provided as a resource for information regarding many aspects of IIH and the symptoms of IIH, as well as information on some of the treatments used.

The links are provided for educational purposes only and not for providing medical advice. You should consult your own doctor before making any changes to your treatment, and not rely on any advice given via any link provided on the forum without first talking to your doctor.

This section of the forum is READ ONLY, i.e. you can't reply to the posted topics. If have any comments on any of the posted links in this section, please use the appropriate area of the "discussion" area of the forums.

For some areas where there are a lot of different links, we've set up a "child board" to collect all of the resources on that subject together.

Know of a site or resource you think other forum members ought to know about? Let one of the Administrators or Moderators know - Celestia, Michelle, Didles, Emma.x, Katie30, or Missy - and we'll check the site out and decide if it's suitable to be included on this board.

As stated in our Terms of Service, which you'll find a link for at the very bottom of each page of the forum, we aren't responsible for the content of other sites, and our inclusion of hyperlinks to such websites does not imply any endorsement of views, statements or information contained in such websites.

If you find any links that are broken, please let us know by posting in the "Feedback, Comments and Technical Queries" board and one of the Administrators or Moderators will revise the link.

The Yellow Card Scheme is vital in helping the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) monitor the safety of the medicines and vaccines that are on the market.

Before a medicine is granted a licence so that it can be made available in the United Kingdom, it must pass strict tests and checks to ensure that it is acceptably safe and effective. All effective medicines, however, can cause side effects (also known as adverse drug reactions), which can range from being minor to being very serious. For a medicine to be granted a licence, the expected benefits of the medicine must outweigh the possible risks of the medicine causing adverse effects in patients. Sometimes, it is difficult to tell whether a possible side effect is due to a medicine, or something else. Even if it is only a suspicion that a medicine or combination of medicines has caused a side effect, we ask patients and health professionals to send us a Yellow Card.
